Thread: Smoothest shaving razor

Filly, Puma, CV Heljestrand, Toyo, Geneva, and Wacker are all outstanding.

My old example of the differences in razors concerns the group TI buy we had several years ago here. I bought two both sequentially numbered, the exact same razors and one was a super shaver right out of the box and the other needed a lot of work.

I have only tried four razors (one T-I and three Dovo), so take this with a grain of salt:

Call me weird, but I think the Dovo "Best Quality" is my best by a decent margin. When properly stropped, it is really smooth, and it is the only one of my four that can handle my "problem spot" under my jaw without irritation.

Swedes are still my favs. Quite affordable on ebay as well.

One of my favorite razors in my rotation is an Emde Bross Eagle razor from Germany. And it is also one of my cheapest razors! I got it from ebay. How ever I'm not experience enough to know if it shaves so well because of the quality of the razor or the quality of the way it was honed. I suspect a combination of the two.

My best razor is from Pakistan. I can used to learn stropping, honing cutting butter... Now seriously I have many razors I but one of favorite is DD Special :-) I don`t have best yet as I don`t know what next razor I will purchase...

Well, not all Dovos are the same. Of the current production the Bergischer Lowe to me is head and shoulders above the rest. And the vintage no.55 aka diamond steel are lovely razors, though I wish they were 1/8" smaller.

And I do have a few of the Glen's whoa razors too speaking of which I've gotta dig out the good ole Frankie and take him for a spin.
